Mönchengladbach players turn in part of their salary to support staff NOW

The Borussia Mönchengladbach players have handed in part of their salary to retain employees for the club. The number four of the Bundesliga, like many other clubs, is facing financial setbacks due to the corona virus.

The German league will stand still until April 2 and clubs will lose income. Mönchengladbach says the club faces “the most difficult situation since 1999” and fears great financial distress if the competition cannot be completed at all.

The players were informed of the dire situation on Tuesday and have therefore decided to give up part of their salary. This means that (for the time being) no employees have to be fired due to cutbacks.

“I am very proud of the boys. I did not even have to tell them about our situation, they were well informed. That is part of their job,” says director Max Eberl on the Mönchengladbach site.

“The players are sending a clear signal that we are ready for each other in good and bad times at this club. They want to give Borussia Mönchengladbach and the fans something in return.”

It is not yet known whether and when the German league can be resumed. In England they decided on Thursday to cancel all games until May 1.

The coronavirus in short

  • The coronavirus mainly spreads through sneezes and cough drops. The virus can be transmitted directly from person to person or (for a limited time) through surfaces such as door handles.
  • An infected person infects two to three others on average. Precautions are necessary to contain this.
  • The vast majority of patients have mild (flu-like) complaints.
  • Nearly all deaths involve the elderly or other frail, such as heart, lung or diabetes patients. If everyone complies with the measures, this reduces their risks.
